A haircut and the OK hand symbol are raciest?
A haircut and the OK hand symbol are raciest? I respect what the ADL is attempting to accomplish and bringing to light to actual hate symbols. A lot of them are disgusting, violent and vial memes, threatening harm or death on people because of the way they look or their beliefs. All of that should be unanimously denounced entirely! Can we find common ground that a musician giving the OK symbol during a sound check and every person wearing a Bowlcut is not automatically perceived as raciest?

The “OK” hand symbol – Begun as a hoax by members of the website 4chan, the OK symbol became a popular trolling tactic. By 2019, the symbol was being used in some circles as a sincere expression of white supremacy. Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant ashed the symbol during his March 2019 courtroom appearance soon after his arrest for allegedly murdering 50 people in mosques in Christchurch.
The “Bowlcut” is an image of a bowl-shaped haircut resembling the one worn by white supremacist mass killer Dylann Roof. Those who use the bowlcut image or other “bowl” references admire Roof and call for others to emulate his 2015 mass shooting attack at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
